so last year, 08-09 holidays i spent the summer with an atlas learning the countries of the world. My geography is pretty bad and I thought if I had to waste my time on something perhaps it could be something useful. I also figured there’d be iPhone applications that would help me do it too (not as many as I’d hoped, but anyway).
So this summer I picked up the habit again, I went to Borders for the Boxing day sales and bought myself a full priced atlas with nice clear political maps and things and have been slowly teaching myself the capital cities of Europe… didn’t get too far.
Anyway each day for a week i’ve been testing myself on Traveller IQ and finally I completed the 12th level! So I must be improving… even if i’m only jabbing at countries and hoping I don’t get too many russian cities on the east coast!
This Traveler IQ was calculated on Monday, January 11, 2010 at 01:24AM GMT by comparing this person’s geographical knowledge against the Web’s Original Travelogue’s 5,004,403 travelers who’ve taken the challenge.
Have you found Belgium yet?
oh Belgium is easy, that’s where Poirot is from!
but the location of Brussells in Belgium, not so sure. though… Belgium isn’t that big!
